Current Employee – been working at Check 'n Go part-time for less than a year

ProsHandling regular customers, doing the bb and regz are simple, but thats not even a fraction of a fraction of the entire job.

ConsThe goals at this place are SO unrealistic. They push and push and push with no compensation, and if you hit your goals,(netspend, ect...) you get a "nice job" and maybe a JEANS DAY. WOO HOO! Managers get bonuses(and it's hard even for them to get), but not CSRs. I was told I would start out at 9.00/hour and only make 8.50.

Current Employee – been working at Check 'n Go full-time for more than 3 years

Prosflexible work schedule nice if you have kids. sundays they are closed.

Consthe pay is not good. not good for upward movement. they say they have competitive pay but they do not. do not do much to protect from being robbed. If you are robbed they treat you like they do not care.

Advice to Senior Managementtreat employees with more respect, like you care for them. do more then the bare minimum for employees

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Pomona, CA

Former Employee – worked at Check 'n Go full-time for less than a year

ProsSome great co-workers
Run your own business

ConsPAY is laughable. $12 to be a branch manager with OT cut and Bonuses Not Attainable!
Want you to produce more with less. Expectations are a joke. Want you to do strategic marketing and run store, managment duties with minimal employee hours. Offered an Executive Training position with a fortune 200; double the pay and a lot less responsabilites. WANT MORE AND GIVE YOU SCRAPS!

Advice to Senior ManagementIF YOU WERE TOP TALENT YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Jamestown, ND

Former Employee – worked at Check 'n Go full-time for less than a year

ProsWhen you are left alone, it is great. No one looking down your shoulder. Can move up the ladder to district or regional manager without no degrees and only 6 month experience being a manager. Manager and customer service rep position is the exact same thing, just the title tells you how many hours you will work.

Cons, when no CSR, you work 60+ hours per week. Must buy your uniforms from company, they do not provide sufficient training. 2 Store managers told me not to listen to Regional Managers Training Guide as they tried it and doesn't work. I received 3 days training instead of 2 full weeks training.

Advice to Senior ManagementGive your Manager some slack and explain what they do wrong instead of firing people when they are not trained.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Beloit, WI

Former Employee – worked at Check 'n Go full-time for more than 3 years

Prosprofessional work environment, customer friendly-focused, small team, work indepedently. One manager and one-two staff. Highly organized, variety of experience from handling money, little bit of marketing, collections, etc. Great experience for your resume on the job you really want!

Conshave to wear their Uniforms top, No schedule flexibility since there is only 1 or 2 people working in a store. You can never call in because there is no one to cover your shift.... usually the other person has to work their own shift. And you feel bad calling in because you know they are going to call in your one other co worker. The salary sucks, no raises, no promotions. You are either the manager or regular hourly associate. Can be dangerous since you are doing bank drops in morning alone. Upper Management is high pressure on the store as far as how many loans are being done, sales etc. No overtime or opportunity to advance. If you are working open to close you can't leave for an uninterruped lunch. they don't allow you to close the store for a 30 minute lunch break. benefits etc suck as well.

Advice to Senior ManagementPay your hourly associates more. Allow an uninterrupted lunch break where the store can be closed for 30 minutes. close your stores when weather is dangerous such as winter snow storms etc.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Austin, TX

Former Employee – worked at Check 'n Go full-time for more than a year

ProsManagers are off most weekends

ConsUnrealistic expectations. Unsafe, in the store alone 95% of the time. Expect many future store closings with law changes, like the ones in Texas. The company will not let thier employees know until the last possible minute.

– I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Check 'n Go full-time for less than a year

ProsIts better then no job at all
If your good at kissing ass you can move up

ConsYou hardly get to take breaks
They will change your schedule at last minute and say its mandatory
They expect you to work harder then what you should for they pay they give you
Csr's do most of the crap work and managers are who get the benefits from it
Management there is sneaky and conniving and have the most all around terrible hygiene ever known

Advice to Senior Managementlearn how to treat you employees and maybe you could get people to accomplish more instead counting down the minutes till close. Perham

Current Employee – been working at Check 'n Go part-time for more than a year

ProsGood hours, get to meet awesome customers better than working minimum wage in a retail store

ConsHave to drive to the bank everyday and to other stores often with
 absolutely no gas reimbursement. All Associates are required to stand on the street corner waving a sign. Have to put flyers in car windshields in the rain snow sleet or hail. always understaffed

Advice to Senior ManagementYou want us to run the company like our own personal business so stop micromanaging

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Check 'n Go full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe company gives you the ability to create your own strategies for success.

ConsThe company does not care about their employees. They have such a high turnover that they are always understaffed which makes their employees overworked and a very stressful environment. Upper management blames it on "Poor Execution". The regional manger has either lost touch with day to day operation responsibilities and the (lack of) tools that are given to carry them out, or simply doesn't care :(

Advice to Senior ManagementCreate a bonus program for Customer Service Representatives to give them encouragment in their jobs. They are overworked and under paid and are expected to do the same work as their manager, when their manager has the day off. They are held accountable but are not compensated. No wonder they don't stick around :(

Former Employee – worked at Check 'n Go part-time

ProsThe work schedule was great for me. A CSR for my location was only allowed to work 20hrs/week. So I only worked 3-4 days a week. I had a great manager that alternated working every other Saturday with me. The job it self is very easy!

ConsWorst company I have EVER worked for! Upper management is so unappreciative of any good you do. All they care about is the numbers. My manager was great but that is about it. There is a high turn over rate at this company so if other locations near you need you to fill in at their store they NEVER hesitated to ask. For a couple month span on my every day off, my mgr was calling to ask if I could come in to work at another store. Upper mgmt was always changing so nothing was constant. I also hated ripping people off! That is the nature of the job though. You have to get the customer to take out highest amt approved even if you know they cannot afford it. I also didn't feel very safe working here after dark. Some customers were very nice but some can get a little out of hand and most of the time you are the only employee working. The only time you work with your manager is mostly on Fridays, the 1st of the month and 3rd of the month. It was the easiest job I have ever had with great hours but the cons definitely out way the good for me.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart appreciating your employees in the stores! When an employee quits or is let go, get a new hire in there asap! It is extremely stressful and a huge pain for other stores to have to fill in on their days off!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
